Mechanical Caliper

Product Code : SCL-CL-11851

Mechanical Caliper (SKU SCL-CL-11851) is a 15 cm metal sliding caliper with fixed and sliding jaws that takes internal, external, depth and step measurements on a dual metric and inch scale. Physics and engineering students, workshop trainees and lab technicians use it to measure small lengths, diameters and depths. Science Lab Supplies, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India, delivers it from its base in Ambala to schools, colleges, institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The caliper is made of metal with a 15 cm measuring length. Fixed and sliding jaws take outside and inside readings, a depth feature reads recesses and steps, and a locking screw holds a reading while it is recorded. The slide moves smoothly and allows fine adjustment.

Applications and Experiments for the Mechanical Caliper

The instrument measures the outside diameter of rods and spheres, the inside diameter of tubes and beakers, and the depth of holes and vessels. That makes it a standard tool for school physics measurement practicals, engineering drawing and metrology classes, and fitting and machining work in technical training workshops.

• CBSE Class 11 physics practical: measuring the diameter of a small sphere or cylinder, and the internal diameter and depth of a beaker.
• Density and volume work: finding the dimensions of regular solids before calculating volume.
• ITI Fitter and Machinist trades: checking outside, inside and step dimensions of workpieces.
• Diploma and B.Tech metrology labs: practice in reading a mechanical measuring instrument.

Standard Scope of Supply

The Mechanical Caliper is supplied as a single instrument as described above, with its fixed and sliding jaws, depth feature and locking screw. Any storage case or optional accessories are listed separately on the quotation.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Quotations can cover one caliper for a teacher's desk or a class set for every bench. Each quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and weights, balances or other chemistry lab equipment from the same range can be added to the same document.

Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. To start an order, use the contact page, add the item to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for bulk and tender buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can this caliper measure?
It takes four kinds of reading: external dimensions between the jaws, internal dimensions of bores and tubes, depth of holes, and step heights. The dual scale gives each reading in both metric and inch units.

How long is the measuring range?
The caliper is 15 cm in size, which suits school physics specimens, small workshop parts and typical laboratory glassware.

Who supplies the Mechanical Caliper?
The caliper is supplied by Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India. Schools and contractors can order it on its own or bundle it with the rest of a physics or workshop equipment list.

Can I order a class set for practical examinations?
Yes. State the number of calipers and the delivery location, and the quotation will give packing, delivery time and price for that quantity.

Related Measurement and Density Equipment

Length measurement is usually the first step in density and materials practicals. These four items pair with the caliper: equal-volume cubes and a density cube set to measure, an electronic balance to weigh them, and hooked weights for force and mass work on the same bench.

• Cubes — 1 cm cubes of different materials for density comparison.
• Density Cube Set — equal-volume cubes for calculating density.
• Laboratory Scales Electronic — for weighing measured specimens.
• Weights with Hooks — hooked masses from 50 g to 1000 g for force and load experiments.
